.mpg files lose audio when imported to FCP

Has anyone lost only the audio tracks of a clip with an .mpg extention after importing to FCP? The audio plays in Quicktime, but FCP will not recognize it, nor will Soundtrack Pro. I'm at a loss here.

mpg files are muxed (mixed audio and video). FCP wants separate threads for audio and video.
Convert the files using Mpeg Streamclip (google it, it's free) to convert the files to an editable format - say DV-NTSC quicktime.

  • How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

    I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro.  I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
    The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
    But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
    I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

    I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done.  Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

  • WMV file causes popping sound in audio when imported into FCP

    I am trying to import a WMV file that a client wants inserted into their project. When I import the file into a bin, it's fine. When i try to insert clips from the file into the timeline, I get popping sounds throughout..seems to be ad hoc.
    Can anyone suggest a fix?
    thank you!

    The only fix that I know of is to convert the WMV file into a format that FCP works with natively ... preferably one that matches your FCP Sequence settings.
    To get the best results, don't use WMV as a source. See if the client can provide the footage in it's original format in order to maintain quality.

  • No audio when importing AVCHD into FCP X?  Simple solution.

    After hours of trial and error and several phone calls to support, I figured out why my AVCHD footage (MTS files from a Canon vixia HF S100)  had no audio when importing into FCPX.  The solution was to simply uncheck the box - "Remove silent channels" - under Audio in the pop-up import window .  That did the trick. 
    I had tried  importing from a card reader, the camera and from an external hard drive and then tried 2 converter programs (MPEG streamclick and   Wondershare Video Conerter Ultimate.)
    Final Cut Pro X
    OS X 10.8.2

    It's usually something simple that can catch the best of us.

  • Losing audio when importing from QT, help please

    I have been unable to capture footage from a handycam to FCP HD, so I decided to capture in imove instead and then export the footage as QT files so I can import into FCP. Exporting is fine, and when I play the files in QT I get both audio and video, but when I import the same files into FCP I only get the video and the audio has disappeared.
    When I try to import the imovie dv clips, they play for a second and then the video stops but the audio continues. That's why I decided to convert them to QT.
    I have no idea how to fix this. I tried extracting the audio in imovie and exporting that way too, but same result.
    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!
    (The whole reason for these problems is that I can't seem to capture in FCP. FCP recognizes the camera, but can't seem to control it. It is set on Firewire NTSC basic, and I've played around with different settings on that as well. The camera is set to VTR with AV/DV out on........can't figure out why it won't work.)
    Sorry for the long version.

    Personally i'd try to iron out the wrinkles in your fcp capture process.
    Is your camera on the approved devices list? If not, you might think about a new camera. if it's a sony, you ought to use firewire, not firewire basic as your device protocol.
    Can you play out to the camera?
    imovie captures a dv stream, not a mov and therein lies the problem with imovie files in fcp. but you ought to be getting unrendered audio (beeps until rendered) not no audio at all. Interesting.
    What exactly is the camera?

  • P2 card video out of sync when importing to FCP

    Trying to transfer P2 card video (specs on file show 720P60 960x720 59.95 FR with time code 30FPS NDF. P2 plugin is installed and I can view the clips in log and transfer fine. But when importing into FCP the audio is OK but video is slow motion and out of sync. Help what can I do?

    Go into the LOG AND TRANSFER preferences, that sprocket menu on the upper right, and uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN.  It really needs to be defaulted to OFF.  It causes so many issues.

    I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5.  I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s.  However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call.  I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss.  The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens.  All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
    Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:

    If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:

    Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
    Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
    I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue.  I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web.  Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

  • Bridge CS5 thinks mpg files are audio-only

    CS5 Production Premium.
    But when I installed I wasn't sure this was going to be the "final home", so I decided to install as a trial with the intent to either move/reinstall later, or just plug in the serial number.
    As a "trial", I quickly discovered that none of the apps recognized MPEG-2 files correctly. Yes, I failed to note that in the readme, but once I encounterer the problem I knew what was wrong.
    Added the serial number, and as I restarted the various apps most of them noted the missing codecs and installed them for me. So now, all of the apps properly recognize .mpg files.
    Except Bridge. No matter what I do, Bridge still thinks all the .mpg files are audio only. The main list shows the thumbnail as expected, but Preview thinks it's an audio file and only plays the audio.
    This is not a critical thing, because I don't really use Bridge much for my video files. But short of reinstalling, is there some way to perhaps "nudge" Bridge into properly recognizing the .mpg?
    Brad.

    I am having the same problem. Installed purchased copy of Premiere Pro. Did not do trial first.
    Any ideas or is this a bug?

  • No audio when importing footage under capture

    When I'm importing footage from my camcorder into FCE there is audio in the caputure window & no levels on my audio meters. The camcorder I'm using is a ZR500 Mini DV using to import.
    These are the steps I have done: File -> Easy Setup then Format: -> (all formats)
    after that Use: DV-NTSC Firewire Basic.
    Then I went to File Capture. Any advice? I'm getting no audio when importing on
    FCE 4?

    Welcome aboard idw3,
    Then I went to File Capture. Any advice? I'm getting no audio when importing on
    FCE 4?
    That's normal for FCE. All versions have been the same. If you need to hear the audio use the cameras headphone socket if it has one.
    All audio can be adjusted in the Timeline during editing as required.

    My Iphone5 was replaced and having same Problem. Only does this when using bluetooth for talking.

    I have the exact same issue... I've been using a Jabra Extreme2 and just this weekend, bought a Plantronics Marque2 and today had the same issue, so it's clearly not the headset but the phone or OS.
    I might try a restore and see if it helps...

  • Video source sync when imported in fcp loses sync

    Hi
    I have an issue I can't figure out:
    When played in Quicktime player (format hdv60i) the video and audio are in sync but when imported in Final Cut Pro 7, they lose their sync.
    I made my sequence to the exact specs as the original movie file and tried different settings but it is always out of sync.
    Another thing, in FCP 7 the movie file does not want to play until the end but when I tried to make a Pro-Res 422 LT version, the out of sync issue remain but now the file play from start to finish.
    I am speechless...
    Anyone help???

    Hi,
    I made my sequence to the exact specs as the original movie file
    What are the specs of the original file please.

  • No audio when importing .mpg

    I've seen similar questions posted, but i just can't find the answer. I already captured all of my video off of an old analog camera that only had composite plugs. The audio works when I open the files in QuickTime, but not when I import into FCP 5

    Because I was using an old camera (without firewire) I had to capture with my PC using DVD Director Pro. That works great, thanks<<</div>
    You have no DV device for working with FCP? No camcorder, deck or converter? If you do, connect the analog outs of the old playback device to the analog inputs of your DV device, then connect a Firewire cable from the DV device to your Mac. Set FCP's capture control to "Non-Controllable Device" and hit Capture Now. This method works fine for everyone I know for capturing virtually any analog format (VHS, 8mm/Hi8, BetaMax, 3/4", etc). You'll have much better quality than going to MPEG first, and if you have a TBC lying around to run the analog signal through, you can get some rock-stable footage.

  • Premiere only shows audio when importing a .wmv file

    I have a 30 sec spot that is a .wmv file. It plays normally in Windows Media Player, plays normally in Bridge, but when I import it into Premiere CS6, it shows it in the project file as a .wmv, but when I pull it onto the timeline or put it into the source window, all I see is an audio file.  What happened to the video? Why won't it import also, I know it's there because it plays outside of Premiere just fine. PPro is supposed to import wmv files but where's the video?

    Buy the latest version of Nero, import the problem file to a DVD or Blu-Ray project then use the Export function. I have been amazed many times how many file types I cannot import to Premiere or Media Encoder that Nero can import and convert to something Premiere can work with.
    Just yesterday I was given a 720P wmv file where Premiere gave me a perpetual "Media Pending" image for the video. Media Encoder likewise gave me a "Rendering" message that lasted forever. Nero allowed me to import the file then export as an AVCHD file with the m2ts extension which Premiere can handle.

  • Imported quicktime files lose resolution when exported from FCE

    I am having trouble with quicktime files losing resolution after I add titles and transitions to them in FCE.
    I'm doing some video morphing so I use different software to create the quicktime files, and then I import them into FCE in order to add titles and transitions, and then I want to export again as quicktime files.
    The problem is, when I export the completed movies from FCE, the quicktime file section of the movies ends up being a much lower resolution than when I had imported it. I am using all the same compression settings throughout: Sorenson 3, Best, Frame rate 15 fps. The movies are 1001x751 in size.
    Any ideas on how to get the movies to come out as crisp and hi res as the original clips?
    Thanks.
    FCE 2.0.3   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  
    FCE 2.0.3   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   Quicktime 7.0.4

    Sorenson 3 is a web compression codec. You need to create your videos in DV NTSC at 720x480 at the 29.97fps. That the format that's specified in FCE.
    All the best,
